Tommy

Played 6th October 2018

Theme

“We need to test that this portal works properly, we’re pretty sure that it does but we just need to be certain! From what we can gather Tommy has landed somewhere in the midst of the Western Front in 1917. There is a very significant chance/the slight possibility that the portal could break when you go through (but it probably won’t don’t worry) If it does though, don’t panic, your team are just going to have to fix the time portal before the bridge collapses and you’re trapped in the past forever.”

Host

Our host Lilly was lovely and welcoming when we arrived, Lilly took us to our room and given the plot to our room. Lilly was really understanding as she had to reassure Laura due to the first room being really dark.

Room Set Up

The room set up for this game was amazing, along with time travel element and decoration, you really do feel as though you have gone back in time. Props are minimal but everything is in keeping with the theme. The sound effects in the game are fantastic, at times it makes you feel as if the room is shaking. This game is a little on the small side, personally we would say a team of 7 would be too large for the space, a team of 4-5 would be a better fit without being on top of each other. The lighting in this room is quite dark at times however you are provided with lanterns.

Game Play

The beginning of this game is so unique, nothing like anything we have come across before. The game is linear with a mix of skill, physical and logical puzzles with padlock openings. This was a very fluid game, and the puzzles for the theme very well, due to the sound effects of the game, there was a certain sense of urgency to complete puzzles which added to the immersion of the game.

Overall Experience ★★★★☆

The immersion at unescapeable starts the minute you walk through the door. They have a large reception area, with a very interesting centerpiece. Tommy has the most amazing start which gives the game a real uniqueness to it. The game plays well and is very immersive with the sound and lighting effects. Lilly our host was really nice and made are game very enjoyable. We would highly recommend Tommy to any one who is wanting to play, we are really glad that we added Derby to our escape room trip last minute and we look forward to returning to play Edith (After Laura has summoned a little courage)
